In the allocation of houses there should be a fair distribution of sizes at all developments not limited to what the open market wants. The recent TW development in Knowle was disappointing in that only two 3 no. bedroom houses were available for general release on such a large site. The rest went to forms of social housing.
I think it is vital to have an allocation of homes spread out over the borough but that in areas such as Berkswell, Hampton, Catherine DB etc. there should be a level of protection so just to add small developments. These areas are historically important and should be protected.
